Launch IM apps after network connection is established
I use a cool little utility called Peripheral Vision (not free...but cheap...$7 I believe) that monitors all sorts of connections (all USB, FireWire, Bluetooth, AirPort, Ethernet, File Volumes) and lets you run a script or application whenever a specific one is connected or disconnected.
I have it set up so when an AirPort connection is established at my college it automatically launches the VPN client and connects. I also have one for my iPod where it checks to see when iSync was last run and if it hasn't been run in the last 12 hours it syncs then quits iSync (it was getting annoying when it would sync every time it was connected). It also launches Pod2Go and PodQuest when an iPod is connected, then closes them when disconnected so the menus aren't taking up my screen. Here are the scripts: iPod Connected: tell application "Pod2GoMenu"
iPod Disconnected: tell application "System Events"I'm no AppleScript pro so their may be a better way of doing these things... |
